One Quince Review: 14k Gold Solo Mini Hoop & 14k Gold Bold Hoops

Another Quince (formerly known as Last Brand) review for you today. So far I’ve tried their cashmere, their leather crossbody, leather tote, and their linen bedding. Now I’m here to review their jewelry. They really do have quite a few items on their website! Currently both their 14k bold hoops and the 14k solo mini are sold out, but hopefully they restock it soon.

Quince Review: European Linen Sheet Set {Updated June 2023}

I’m no bedding expert but I have reviewed some direct to consumer (DTC) bedding brands like Brooklinen and Casper. (If you want a really good review of DTC bedding, Luxe wrote one last year).

Unsponsored One Quince Review: The Italian Calfskin Crossbody and Cashmere Sweater {Updated September 2021}

I found Quince (also known as One Quince and formerly known as Last Brand ) thanks to a wonderful reader of the blog who also loved “vintage” Grana (edit: Thanks Viktoriya!). Anyway I’m so glad I learned about them because it’s always exciting to share a new brand that’s trying make quality products, at a great price, and with ethics in mind! There’s so many things I want to talk about this brand that I’m not sure where to start.
